1) The first 2 is the main version number, which is generally stable in a period of time;

2) The second version number is the secondary version number. If it is an even number, it indicates the official version. If it is an odd number, it indicates the test version in the development process. For example, when 2.4 is officially released, 2.3.x is the version of the beta version used between developers;

3) The last 15 is the modification number. For example, 2.2.15 is a small modification to 2.2.14.
